  • the wound dressing 225 is primarily located in a chamber 246 formed between the wound 250 and the drape 222.
  • the wound dressing pad 225 is sized and shaped to fit in and over the wound to be treated, and thus the wound dressing is in direct contact with the wound.
  • a gauze or foam is used as the wound dressing pad so as to allow air to flow around the wound. The air flow is caused by the application of a vacuum.
  • the vacuum also tends to draw fluids from the wound and through the wound dressing pad
  • the wound tissue can grow into the wound dressing pad or otherwise stick to the wound dressing pad.

  • the filler/support material could be "siliconized.” This can occur by at least partially covering the support material with silicone which can be accomplished by applying silicone to at least the surface of the filler/support material that directly contacts the wound, by impregnating the filler/support material with silicone, or by using a filler/support material that already integrally includes silicone or its equivalent. By using silicone or an equivalent, the wound can properly heal without the wound tissue growing into or sticking to the wound dressing pad.

  • the silicone/seared foam may or may not be perforated or slit to allow vacuum, ambient or a positive pressure to pass through, and to allow liquids to pass.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système assurant le traitement de plaies. Le système comprend un pansement de plaie et un régulateur d'aspiration qui comprend un régulateur de vide destiné à fournir une pression négative au site de la plaie et un circuit de commande pour commander le régulateur de vide pour alimenter de manière sélective la pression négative. Le système peut en outre comprendre (1) un mécanisme de vérification de pression pour fournir une vérification visuelle que la pression négative appliquée au site de plaie a atteint un niveau de pression prédéterminé; (2) un mécanisme de ventilation pour permettre à de l'oxygène de ventiler le site de plaie lorsque la pression négative n'est pas alimentée vers le site de plaie; (3) un détecteur d'écoulement pour détecter un débit à partir du site de plaie où le circuit de commande produit un signal d'alarme si le débit détecté par le détecteur d'écoulement dépasse un seuil; et/ou (4) un tampon de pansement de plaie comprenant un matériau de support au moins partiellement revêtu de silicone.
